Im a software engineer and know how to be a software engineer, yet I find LLMs quite helpful. Why should a plumber be any different.

  Because if a plumber moves fast and breaks things, I've got shit all over the place.

    That, and also the plumber loses their license. So perhaps the solution is professional licensing for software engineers.

      Engineer is a protected title in Canada after all

      I think that's coming regardless. AI just might be the perfect storm to bring the timeline in considerably.

      I feel like a licencing process for software engineers would A) test lots of skills that are common but not universal. I'm thinking javascript trivia here, where I don't write any javascript in my professional capacity as a software engineer; but there are many people who think Software Engineer == Javascript Programmer B) shine too much of a light on the fact that this industry is full of people who demand high salaries but can't program their way out of a paper bag
